G7c and G7x Firmware Update Process for Version 3.450

Updated October 1 2021

 

As with previous firmware updates, G7 downloads firmware version 3.450 over the air automatically. When the download is complete, G7 will update the firmware the next time you power on your device. User input is not needed to download firmware or start the update process.

NOTE: During part of the update, G7 will have a blank screen and not respond to button pushes. Pressing the power button will not affect G7 or the firmware update.
